What Experts Say
Diclofenac potassium blocks the cyclooxygenase enzymes, COX-1 and COX-2, which the body uses to make prostaglandins. Prostaglandins drive pain, swelling and fever at the site of tissue injury. By lowering their production the drug reduces inflammation and eases pain within a short time of dosing.
The potassium salt dissolves more quickly in the stomach than the sodium salt used in many other diclofenac brands. This gives a faster onset of action, which is why it is often chosen for acute pain rather than long standing joint disease. Peak blood levels are usually reached within about an hour of an oral dose.
Like all NSAIDs, regular use carries a dose dependent risk to the stomach lining, kidneys and cardiovascular system. Doctors generally recommend the lowest effective dose for the shortest period needed to control symptoms. Patients with existing heart, kidney or stomach conditions need closer monitoring before starting regular use.
